We learn that there has been a very brilliant affair for our Troops near U zrona. The insurgents p have been compl e tely beaten.- On the .other Side a _division of the, Army, corn . - manded by Marshal IVONCEY, had, on the 26th of last month, an engagement at Lerin, in which the' Spaniards we,re.defgated. this affair we.took se veral pieces of cannon, and 699 prisoners, which yesterday arrived at Bayonne. The Officers are confined in the citadel. These miserable Spaniards are in a most deplorable condition. Their clothes are mere shreds, and they are without shoes. Every disposition is making for vigorous offe.isive operations, and the arrival of his Majesty will,' without doubt, give birth to great events. B.O):IANA'S corps will be the first attacked ; we are even assured that every means have been taken for cutting off his retreat. The Siege of Saragossa will.conatnence in a few days, and be ,vlgorously. carried on. There is a report to day at Bayonne, that BLAKE has lost 5 or 6000 men, in an engagement which'. he had with General VERDIEII ; but this report appears premature. Troops of all descriptions' are ,continually passing through this place : _ they are animated with the best spirit, and burn with imi.atience to fight under the eyes of the hero who alWays leads them to victory. The army of Spain will, it is said, be-divided into. eight grand divisions, and commanded by the Marhall - NEY, BESSiERE, SqULT, MORTIEK . , VICTOK, MONCEY, and by the generals ST. CYR and Due D'AERAN T e s . 'They also talk of an Army of Re serve, but it is not yet known by whom it will be commanded. The Imperial troops, infantry and cavalry, which were at Bayonne, all set out at break of day this morning, preceding his Majesty.—(cey r rier de L'Einpire, Nov. 10.) • BAyosisie, Nov. p.—According to intelligence which has this instant been received, the defeat of the Spaniards at Bil6oa has been : most complete, Marshal the Duke of DANTZIc h a s made 4000 pri soners; among whom are. wo Aid-de-Camps of Ge neral BLAKE. A great number of carriages and servants belong ing to the King of Spain have arrived here this morning, on their way from Naples.—(Journal de L'Empire, Eov. 11) The dispositions which were made to drive the Spaniards korn - the Banks of the Ebro, have been attended with the most complete success in .very point. General CAFTANOI, after the defeat of his advanc ed guard; .It;itted ilia position at Soria; by this movement the Marquis ROMANA was no longer able to receiv.e•succours from the principal Spanish army. He has had r , :asCn to rep,ent of the temerity with which he advanced. The French soldiers had no - sooner perceived till , inch had rendered itself so guilty by t perfidy, than they most ly v. ,1,..cd ►he,9rder for battle. The victory decided,' R9MANA was .not able to effeel hi s s retreat, but in fli,e greatest disorder, and his_ position will no . lohg q permit him to 'cover St. Andei-o, which wilt be immediately attach - ed and • carried. The Spanish Officers who haye been made pri soners testify' the greatest astonishment at the lin- Mense force which wai brought against them. They had so far deceived then as to Make them believe that our troops could not quit Germany, and that all was confusion in that Country. Many of them admit that there exists in Spain the greatest sub- . if:as of diviSion, both between the different corps of their army and their Generals, and between the different Authorities. It is .evident that the people of property are very setiously alarmed at the pre tension's of an anarchial multitude, sever ready to commit the greatest elkesses.—(Publicis4 , , ; ith November.) BAYONIIE, Nov: 4.—The Fle4J-quarters of the Imperial Army has been removed from Iron to To losa.

Imperial Guards will form a Corps of Re serve under Marshal BESSIERES, and that his Corps will be commanded by Marshal LANNES. Marshal NEY has resumed the command of the 6th, which he already had in Germany,' and to which will be joined a division of 10,000 men which he has corn in.anded since his arrival in Spain.

SOLSM QUIS D . 1.C . .11R .. 31 , FAL9UM AVDIAT ? O D O N, .VESpAY - , NOVEMBER 15, 18CS. We this morning received a series of the su all ,French . Papers .to the ; Atli inst. from which we have made several Ex.tra6.ls/ These Papers are not .so .silent upon the affairs of Spain as the ; .they.contain some accounts, which, if true, we should consider as most disastrous. They state, that the Spaniards under General 'BLAKE have been defeat ed near Bilboa, and that the French took 4000 pri soners. They also add, that the Marquis Ds ROMANA' has been defeated, and that he was compelled to re treat in great disorder. From the funier, however, in which these accounts are given, it is obvious either .t4t they are totally false, or else that they aro gross exaggerations. No details are given of these battles. Neither the places where they were fought, nor the dates.:xe mentioned; but what pripcipally induces us to doubt the truth of these statements, that the Itioniteur takes no notice of them.— 'The Moniteurs which arrived yesterday came down to the 12'11. The small French' Papers which we received to-day are not of a later date, and it is highly improbable that if the French had obtained such signal vidories, the news should have reached the Editors of the unofficial Papers before it was trans mitted to -the / lJoniteur. •W e k now that. BUONA PAgTg is not apt to lose muph-titne in announcing his successes, and if he had obtained, any over the Spa niards, the account haVe appeared in the Moniteur quite as soon as in the unofficial Journals. —lt is pro.bable that some skirrnishes have taken place, which these Papers have magnified into bat tles and victories. We trust, however,' that in a short time we phall receive authentic intelligence :upon this most interesting'subjed. It is curious to observe thechildish exultation which appears in the French Papers, upon the subjeEt of the capture of the Island of Caprea. An article from Naples, dated the 23d Odober, states, that the com merce of Naples had already revived, and that the 'different Provinces had began to resume their acti vity ! The Capitulation, our Readers will recol. • led, is stated to have taken place on the 17th, and in less than a week all thee important consequences had ensued ! ! The Argus contains a long article up on the Meetings in this Country, for the purpose of petitioning his Majesty : it speaks with the ut most exultation upon the subjeCt, but the'Editor of ,that Paper seems particularly delighted with the Meeting at Westminster. He says, THIS SPECIES of INSURRECTION, of which the Meeting at Westminster has reared the Standard, way have the mo 4 serious •consequen ca. Tnotrox the people of this country have too often witnessed the efforts, of Party, to be surprised at the clamours which have been raised on the sub jeCt of the Portugal Convention, yet, the violence and rancour which have been excited on this occa sion transcend every thing of the kind that has been observable for a long period, Indeed nothing can exceed the.fury which has been manifested on this subject, but the inconsistency and "contradietion which have marked the whole proceedings of the Opposition Jonrnals, and of the fa6tious orators at public meeting's. At one time they demanded a .Court of Inquiry, in order to have all the circum stances sifted to the bottom. Now that a Court of In quiry has taken place, and a full investigation willcer tainly be the. result, i Court of .lnquiry will not suit these candid politicians, and they demand a Court- Martial. If a Court-Martial had been granted ip the first instance, the. Nation would have keen told that it was too limited in its opera: ton for, the points at . issue—that only a small part of the transaetion s would ur,dergo investigation before such a tribunal— that it ought to have been preceded by a Court of Inquiry, in order that a comprehensive examination might take place, the innocent and guilty be fairly separated, and the latter only be sent into a Court , where they might be sentenced to a punishment adequate to the offence. We should have beer, told also, if a Court Martial had taken place at once, that Ministers would seleCt their objects for punishment, and spare their favourites. In short, as many objections would have been started against Court Martial, as are now every day urged against a Court of Inquiry. But a Morning Paper of this day has been more absurd in ifs" declarations than any of the OpponentS of Government ; for after saying that it doeS not make any objeations to the ' individuals who compose the Court of Inquiry, tho' it has been very severe ip its comments on Lord :lima, and haS held him forth as a person whO was unfit to be a member of it ; it' seems to hint that when those individuals, against whom it makes no ohjeClion, aol in a'Congiegate capacity, they have w.) right to decide upon subjeCts essentially On' • :; net' eci with their own profession. Bat to pros its absurdity 'still more, the Paper alluded to adini" that the opinions of military men of eminence are en titied•to consideration upon military subjeas, W hile it contends that they have no right to decide. Bu t it makes a very curious "objeelion to the decision of litany .men who are "competent in their profes sion," because there " are naval 'affairsconnea ed with the Armistice and Convention." Such an ob' jeCtion as this urged against a Court of Inquirl. t • which is to probe every thing to the bottom, in °l.- der to discover whether there is matter for the in vestigation of another Court, is the height : of sb" ,surdity. We only refer our Readers to the cl ear ' explicit, and decisive article, which we inserted in our Paper of yesterday, for a full answer to all the faelious and frivolous objeCtions which have bee° urged against the Court of Inquiry, and for such.a r " gurnents in support of it as must carry convi6tion t° every wind not hood-winked by party malice. But it is Somewhat strange, that while the Opposition Paper . denies that such men as compose the Court °f Inquiry, and whom it must admit to be cotoPe" tent in their profession, have aright to decide , it will readily concede that . right to Mr. WAirog#:t'' and the other habitual railers against the rxasti res of Government, whatever those measures cia.Yr Perhaps upon this principle they would even b, oc9/1 : tented With a Cou r t o f I nq Ui ry, i f the pre sent Members were dismissed to make room for tb6 orators of the Common Council, cf Westminster' Hall, of Hampshire, and of Hackney. Another Opposition Print seems disposed to 0 1 some cessation to its zeal against th e Conven don itself, in order to'exeite the resentment of the FeP . pie. against the Answer from the Throne, which denominates a rebuke, and the adviser of which • " has no hesitation in pronouncing more crinliP:' than any .person who may be implicated iu t k Convention.'-' This is an excess o f , ext ravPPnco and folly that could hardly have been ~it peed in any Paper th a t pretended ; too the small est particle of common sense.
